The Ultimate Clutch Upgrade: RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit
The Ultimate Clutch Upgrade: RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit
A high-performance car deserves high-performance parts. That's where RTS Performance steps in. With precise engineering and top-notch quality, their world-class SMF Clutch Kit is a necessity for vehicle owners seeking an optimal driving experience.
Taking the car industry by storm, the RTS Performance SMF conversion kit and flywheel is an immense upgrade for the EA888 engine. The kit features RTS's unique "Twin Friction" drive plate, designed with a special flywheel side friction material while adopting a segmented pressure plate face. Compared to conventional drive plate friction material, this clutch kit reduces wear by 50%.
Further enhancing the kit's appeal, the aramid friction material efficaciously reduces the effects of 'fade'. Fade refers to the decrease in the clutch system's capacity to transmit torque as operating temperatures rise. However, the RTS clutch kit overcomes this challenge by effectively dissipating heat due to the amalgamation of spheroidal casting's micro-structure and ER2 technology, thereby enhancing longevity. For car lovers, this means your clutch runs cooler for longer, ensuring top performance on every road, at almost any atmosphere.
The RTS Performance SMF kit boasts a higher clamp load than standard clutch kits. This allows the clutch system to transmit up to 60% more torque, making it perfect for both everyday driving and track/circuit racing. Despite this outstanding improvement in car performance, the kit maintains a user-friendly driving experience.
Digging into the specific versions of this RTS kit, we find three premium offerings:
1. RTSHD-6006SMF (HD Organic): Boasting torque capacity of 405 lbs/ft, it exceeds the original clutch system while maintaining OE pedal effort.
2. RTSTF-6006SMF (Twin friction): Proffers torque capacity of 495 lbs/ft and surpasses the original clutch system with maintained OE pedal effort.
3. RTSPC-6006SMF (6 paddle): Provides torque capacity of 550 lbs/ft, significantly exceeding the original clutch system while keeping OE pedal effort.
One of the distinguishing features of this kit is the introduction of a Single Mass Flywheel (SMF). Especially useful for vehicles where original Dual Mass Flywheels (DMFs) struggle to dissipate heat efficiently, the SMF offers an affordable and more durable solution. The SMF lessens engine vibrations with its increased inertia and boasts of exceptional durability, thanks to its superior heat dissipation qualities and the lack of high-wearing flywheel components.
Vehicles that can benefit from the RTS Performance clutch kit include the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 R, Volkswagen Golf Mk7 GTI, Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTI, Audi S3 8V, Audi TTS 8S, Seat Leon Cupra MK3 and Skoda Octavia VRS Mk3.
In summation, upgrading to the RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit is a request your car's EA888 engine cannot deny. The product offers reduced wear, increased torque transmission, and much-needed heat dissipation making it the ultimate clutch upgrade your car deserves.
